Any other tests I should do ? I think you should use export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk rather than newt if you want to start the gtk frontend. Ciao, Davide signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Attilio Fiandrotti à écrit : [...cut...] This is the second report we receive about DFB failing initializing because of an unsupported video format. Fabrice, could you please try doing this -boot textual , configure network so that you can reach hosts on the internet and then switch to VT2 and do the following - cd /etc/ - wget --no-check-certificate https://debian.polito.it/downloads/fb.modes - export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt - debian-installer this should force DFB to change the pixel format at inizializtion time: does the installer start corectly now? cheers Attilio Hello Attilio, I gave a try and there is some improvement : FYI, wget in busybox doesn't support --no-check-certificate, but I managed to get your fb.modes file.

Package: installation-reports severity: normal Hello, First round on testing hetch installer... And kudos to the d-i team. The graphical installer is really nice. The media used is the netinst iso has been grabed at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd. This iso is dated : 20061021. I tested a bunch of Dell Optiplex boxen and things went fluently (french install, text and graphical d-i, mix of usb ps2 keyboard/mouse) I had a failling on one of the box I tested, though.
